- “I have met with these brave fighters, and they are not Al-Qaeda. To the contrary: They are Libyan patriots who want to liberate their nation. We should help them do it.” – Senator John McCain in Benghazi, Libya April 22, 2011.
McCain’s “Libyan patriots” have now murdered US Ambassador John Christopher Stevens in the very city McCain spoke these words. An assault on the American consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi, the epicenter of not only last year’s violent subversion and destruction of sovereign Libya, but a decade’s old epicenter of global terrorism, left Ambassador Stevens dead along with two of his aides.

Quote what was in the warning, then. What specific threat did it warn against?
You are missing the point.
Do you actually believe that if the obama administration did not act on warnings that they would come out and admit it? No, they would not. They would try and cover their arse by releasing a statement saying there was no actionable info. Of course this only after being caught doing nothing with the embassy warnings.

Well, this is just typical of the Obama administration.
Exclusive: America 'was warned of embassy attack but did nothing'
According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown", under which movement is severely restricted.
I don't understand. If you had credible information why not warn the diplomats and lockdown the embassy.
It makes no sense unless to further solidify that Obama is clueless and has no understanding of reality. Perhaps Obama is just inept or deep down he agrees with & has sympathy for the criminals.
EDIT:
Here is some more evidence:
Report: Egyptian Intelligence Warned of Embassy Attacks as Early as Sept 4
Could these warnings be the reason why Canada pulled their diplomats out a week ago?
Perhaps the Canadian leadership is a little smarter.edit on 9/13/2012 by WhatTheory because: (no reason given)

Not only typical of the Obama admin but the Bush admin as well. Dubya received a memo a month before 9-11 which he and his admin also ignored

No, don't think so.

Huh?
What are you talking about? What assertions and what track record?
All I did was post some articles regarding obama's incompetence and other people agreed and disagreed in their replies. But you know what, at least they contributed unlike yourself who only seem interested in making things personal. Perhaps this is how you normally operate when you have no valid arguments to make regarding the topic at hand.

Oh wait, you are not an old school Bush supporter who has been championing the right wing since
well before Obama's time in office
You are asserting that there was intelligence that could have been used to predict the
goings on, yet you have provided ZERO proof of that.

I was a supporter of Bush but I did not kneel before him as a messiah like yourself with obama. I have been critical of Bush when he did things I disagreed with unlike yourself who thinks obama can do no wrong.
Plus, to my earlier point, what does my ideology have to do with you making posts personal instead of discussing the topic at hand.

I see......In other words, having a couple articles about this is not good enough for YOU. You are entitled to your wrong opinion but you believe anything coming out of the mouth of obama and his administration.

Okay, you have gone off the deep end. It's really sad, just sad.
I'm done talking to you if you continue with these personal comments instead of talking about the topic at hand.
What's wrong with you? You are really being a troll now.
Is it that you know obama has done wrong and cannot come to grips with it? Is that it?edit on 9/15/2012 by WhatTheory because: (no reason given)

I don't understand your obsession with the phrase "in your own words".

Did you read the two articles? If so, then you know about the warnings given so I don't see any need to repeat it.
